(4.5 x 52.5) + 75 = 311.25

The answer I got was $311.25. First set up the equation for the problem: $52.50(x) + $75 = total charges. Since "x" represents the number of hours, substitute "x" with 4.5. After completing the calculations, you should get $311.25. Hope this helped :))

Answer:

<u>5</u><u> </u>is the value which makes the equation true .

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have provided an equation that is <u>9</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>3x</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>6</u><u> </u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>6</u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u>4</u><u> </u>. And we are asked to <u>write </u><u>the </u><u>steps </u><u>to </u><u>solve </u><u>the </u><u>equation </u><u>with </u><u>explanation </u> and <u>to </u><u>find </u><u>the </u><u>value </u><u>of </u><u>X </u><u>.</u>

<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>-</u>

$\longmapsto \quad \: 9(3x - 16) + 15 = 6x - 24$

<u>Step </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>:</u> Solving parenthesis on left side using distributive property which means multiplying 9 with 3x as well as -16 :

$\longmapsto \quad \:27x - \bold{144 }+ \bold{15 }= 6x - 24$

<u>Step </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>:</u> Solving like terms on left side that are -144 and 15 :

$\longmapsto \quad \:27x -129 = 6x - 24$

<u>Step </u><u>3 </u><u>:</u> Adding 129 on both sides :

$\longmapsto \quad \:27x - \cancel{129} - \cancel{129} = 6x \bold{ - 24 } + \bold{129}$

Now on cancelling -129 with 129 on left side and solving the terms that are -24 and 129 on right side , We get :

$\longmapsto \quad \:27x = 6x + 105$

<u>Step </u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>:</u> Subtracting with 6x on both sides :

$\longmapsto \quad \: \bold{27x} - \bold{6x} = \cancel{6x} +105 - \cancel{ 6x}$

On calculating further, We get :

$\longmapsto \quad \:21x = 105$

<u>Step </u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>:</u> Now we are Dividing with 21 on both sides so that we can isolate the variable that is x :

$\longmapsto \quad \: \dfrac{ \cancel{21}x}{ \cancel{21}} = \dfrac{105}{ 21}$

Now , by cancelling 21 with 21 on left side , We get :

$\longmapsto \quad \:x = \cancel{\dfrac{105}{21}}$

<u>Step </u><u>6</u><u> </u><u>:</u> Now our final step is to simplify the value of x that is 105/21 . We know that 21 × 5 is equal to 105 . So :

$\longmapsto \quad \: \purple{\underline{\boxed{\frak{ x = 5 }}}}$

<u>Henceforth</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>value </u><u>of </u><u>x </u><u>is </u><u>5</u>

<u>Verifying</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>-</u>

Now we are verifying our answer by substituting value of x in the given equation . So ,

9 ( 3x - 16 ) + 15 = 6x - 24

9 [ 3 ( 5 ) - 16 ] + 15 = 6 ( 5 ) - 24

9 ( 15 - 16 ) + 15 = 30 - 24

9 ( -1 ) + 15 = 6

-9 + 15 = 6

6 = 6

L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence , Verified .

<u>Therefore</u><u>,</u><u> our</u><u> value</u><u> for</u><u> x</u><u> is</u><u> correct</u><u> </u><u>that </u><u>means</u><u> </u><u>it'll</u><u> </u><u>makes</u><u> </u><u>the </u><u>equation</u><u> true</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

Determine the area enclosed by y=2x+3, the x-axis and the ordinates x=3 and x=4

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \int\limits^4_3 {2x + 3} \, dx = 10$

General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Calculus</u>

Integration

Integrals

Integration Rule [Reverse Power Rule]: $\displaystyle \int {x^n} \, dx = \frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1} + C$

Integration Rule [Fundamental Theorem of Calculus 1]: $\displaystyle \int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx = F(b) - F(a)$

Integration Property [Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle \int {cf(x)} \, dx = c \int {f(x)} \, dx$

Integration Property [Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle \int {[f(x) \pm g(x)]} \, dx = \int {f(x)} \, dx \pm \int {g(x)} \, dx$

Area of a Region Formula: $\displaystyle A = \int\limits^b_a {[f(x) - g(x)]} \, dx$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify.</em>

y = 2x + 3

<em>x</em>-interval [3, 4]

<em>x</em>-axis

<em>See attachment for graph.</em>

<u>Step 2: Find Area</u>

Substitute in variables [Area of a Region Formula]: $\displaystyle A = \int\limits^4_3 {2x + 3} \, dx$
[Integral] Rewrite [Integration Property - Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle A = \int\limits^4_3 {2x} \, dx + \int\limits^4_3 {3} \, dx$
[Integrals] Rewrite [Integration Property - Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle A = 2 \int\limits^4_3 {x} \, dx + 3 \int\limits^4_3 {} \, dx$
[Integrals] Integrate [Integration Rule - Reverse Power Rule]: $\displaystyle A = 2 \bigg( \frac{x^2}{2} \bigg) \bigg| \limits^4_3 + 3(x) \bigg| \limits^4_3$
[Integrals] Integrate [Integration Rule - FTC 1]: $\displaystyle A = 2 \bigg( \frac{7}{2} \bigg) + 3(1)$
Simplify: $\displaystyle A = 10$

∴ the area bounded by the region y = 2x + 3, x-axis, and the coordinates x = 3 and x = 4 is equal to 10.

Answer:

$= 2x + (4 \times 36) - (4 \times x)$
$= 2x + 144 - 4x$
$= (2x - 4x) + 144$
$= - 2x + 144$
$= - 2( x - 72)$

Which expression is equivalent to 16^2 − 36? (Explain)

seropon [69]

Answer:

4(2x-3)(2x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to simplify the given expression

we can have;

16x^2-36

= 4(4x^2 -9)

we can use the difference of two squares

where;

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a + b)

= 4(2x-3)(2x+ 3)
